Jordan Kimball TIES THE KNOT WITH CHRISTINA CREEDON

REALIT Y T V STAR, JORDAN KIMBALL, A FORMER CONTESTANT ON THE BACHELORETTE AND BACHELOR IN PARADISE, MET THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE, “TOTAL ROM-COM ST YLE,” AT THE L AX AIRPORT.

Christina, a teacher from Houston, was the one who ultimately stole his heart. Their vintage-style wedding on January 15, at The Wynden was eclectic with a touch of 1920’s Gatsby aesthetic with lush flowers, greenery and crystal chandeliers. “The Wynden is one of the best venues to suit that vision; obviously, I want this to be Christina’s dream day,” says Jordan. One of the couple’s favorite parts about planning their wedding was working with Dream Bouquet and seeing their vision come to life. The couple pledged their love in an intimate outdoor ceremony with 92 of

their loved ones as classic songs played and candles lined the aisle. A highlight of the night for Jordan: “Seeing Christina in her wedding dress for the first time as she walked down the aisle, absolutely stunning! I cried my eyes out.” The evening of dining and dancing was followed by a delicious 4-tier cake with raspberry filling, by Susie’s Cakes. The lovebirds exited through a shower of dazzling sparklers held by their guests. They plan to spend their first year of marriage, traveling the world. “2022 is our honeymoon…we’re taking the whole year and making the best of it,” says Jordan.

Jessica and Carter first met while attending a business leadership program at Texas A&M University. Over time, the pair grew closer, and when Carter returned to campus the following semester, he asked Jessica out on their first date. After multiple moves, significant career changes and enduring the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey together, Carter asked Jessica to be his wife. Before taking Jessica to a celebratory birthday dinner, Carter suggested stopping by a local art gallery. To Jessica's surprise, Carter had carefully arranged photographs on the gallery wall of special moments between the two. The very last frame was a picture of Jessica's best friends holding a sign which read, "SAY YES!". The bride says, "Finally I realized what was happening and turned to Carter, who was down on one knee. He asked me to marry him and placed the most beautiful ring I'd ever seen on my finger!" Due to the challenges of Covid-19, the couple opted for an intimate backyard ceremony with family and friends. A year later, on October 15, 2021, the couple celebrated their nuptials with a reception at The Astorian, a modern industrial venue with stunning views of the Houston skyline. The bride says, "After celebrating not once, but twice, we can look back and see that we truly did have the best of both worlds and are so grateful that we were able to have both celebrations. They were the most magical days of our lives."

Michael and Kevin met on Match.com and agreed to meet for drinks in Galveston. The date went surprisingly well, despite Kevin addressing Michael as "David" for the first 15 minutes, after which Michael said, "I have something to tell you – My name is not David, it's Michael." "I was quite embarrassed," says Kevin. Very much in love, the couple soon found and bought their dream loft. There wasn't a doubt in their minds about being together forever. On December 1, 2020, Kevin proposed to Michael on a 6-mile hike in Big Bend National Park on a gorgeous fall day. When Michael's engagement ring from Cartier ended up being the wrong size, he advocated for a wider band with diamonds, and Kevin went ahead and gave in. "What could I say? Of course, you can, honey (LOL)," says Kevin. On October 16, 2021, the lovebirds married at The Tremont House on Galveston Island. Their wedding was a weekend-long, blow-out celebration, beginning with a Black-Tie Cocktail Party at the historic Carr Mansion, a Saturday morning wedding at The Tremont House, and a patio party at the Carr Mansion, mimosas at the Galveston Railroad Museum on Sunday followed by brunch and a beach bonfire. The couple did not miss a beat when the rooftop ceremony moved to the Tremont Annex due to high wind gusts. Champagne and mimosas flowed. The couple paid tribute to parents each of them had lost with a touching display of photographs, while another table held pictures of guests who couldn't attend but were there in spirit. Once pronounced "Husband and Husband," the couple danced with Go-go dancers who sashayed down the stairs to "It's Not Unusual" by Tom Jones. "This is just one highlight of an amazing weekend filled with the love of family and friends," says Michael.

McKenzie and David met in 2017 on the last night of a cruise vacation. However, due to Hurricane Harvey, the cruise was extended by a week, giving the pair ample time to get to know one another. Flash forward to April 1, 2020, when David surprised McKenzie with a romantic proposal at a beautiful park in front of a few of their friends. "I remember looking at him and thinking to myself, "this...I need to remember this," says McKenzie. On July 10, 2021, McKenzie, radiant in a Galia Lahav gown said “I do” to her handsome groom David, in a light-filled chapel at Conroe area venue, Iron Manor. The couple chose a vibrant palette of pink, magenta and fuchsia that complemented the venue’s industrial chic interior. One of the couple's favorite parts about the big day was their vows. "David and I both felt so anxious leading up to the ceremony because we had written our vows, but the personalization of our vows made the ceremony feel so special," says McKenzie. After a night of celebrating with their guests, McKenzie and David got to slow down and have an intimate last dance alone. "It was so romantic being the only two people left in our candle-lit venue with one of our favorite songs playing...everything about our wedding day was just magical," says McKenzie.

REAL WEDDINGS

It all started ten years ago at Texas A&M when Neal’s “ridiculous basketball shorts” stood out to Bhakti, so they started talking, became good friends and eventually, a couple. Then, one night when walking their dog, Archie, Neal put a dog tag on him that said “Will you marry me?” “Everyone that knows us knows how much we love our dog,” says Bhakti. On July 17, 2021, the couple had a spectacular 3-day affair at the luxurious San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center, with incredible views of the Gulf of Mexico. Their Indian wedding consisted of five events, with lots of music, delicious food, handcrafted cocktails and an abundance of dancing. Each event had a theme and color palette, including vibrant pink, sunny yellows, ruby reds and emerald green. They even color-coded bow ties to put on Archie for each event. Bhakti and Neal’s favorite menu items were the risotto balls, fresh green mango juice, paneer tikka and elotes, to name a few. “My favorite moment was seeing Neal in our first look and seeing Archie in all of the events,” says the bride. “He looked so handsome in his bow ties!” In lieu of favors, the newlyweds donated to the American Cancer Society and headed to the romantic Amalfi Coast, Italy, for their honeymoon.

Julianna and Stephen's love story began six years ago at the Heights White Linen Night in Houston and led to a romantic proposal at sunset on Jade mountain in St. Lucia. On October 24, 2020, the couple married at a church ceremony. "One of the special moments included our first look in the Cloister Garden at St. Martin's; it was a beautiful romantic setting to see each other for the first time before the ceremony. The Garden is full of lush greenery, and the first cold front of the year had just blown through, so we had the perfect fall weather for this beautiful moment," says Julianna. The Post Oak Hotel was the setting for a lavish celebration. Blush roses and white hydrangea filled the reception tables in elegant compote vases and delicate glass risers. Guests dined on braised beef short ribs, crab cake, herb spaetzle, carrots and asparagus and a hummingbird cake with cream cheese icing, dark chocolate and raspberries. The celebratory evening concluded with the newlyweds exiting under a shower of dazzling sparklers. Julianna notes: "We had a plated dinner for 185 guests, and the service was impeccable, the food was so delicious, and all of our guests who chose to use the hotel accommodations for their stay raved about the rooms and service. The Post Oak delivered a 5-star experience for both our guests and us."

Niku, a News and Traffic Anchor for the San Antonio news station KENS-5 and Geno, who is in the Air Force Special Ops, were total strangers until meeting at a coffee shop in the Alamo City. Geno invited Niku to sit with him. Three and a half hours later, they suddenly "noticed the time and were both shocked at how two strangers had such a strong connection," says Niku. Two and a half years of long-distance dating later, Geno proposed at a winery in Fredericksburg, TX. After rescheduling their wedding three times due to Covid-19, Geno was stationed in Japan, and with the borders being closed, Niku would not be able to visit him. "That, on top of the canceled weddings, literally broke my heart," says Niku. However, the third time was a charm! On Geno's short three-week break to the US, the couple wed at the Iron Manor on Memorial Day, after Niku found the venue and vendors at short notice. On May 31, 2021, the couple had an extravagant Persian wedding in honor of Niku's culture with an abundance of flowers. "It meant a lot to me that Geno participated in my culture's customs. It's a moment we both cherished," says Niku.

Sarah and TJ met while working in downtown Houston. With their desks conveniently across from one another, the two would talk for hours. "We became best friends and would get lunch and coffee together every day. That grew into messaging on Skype all day at work and barely getting any work done," says Sarah. "I remember thinking there was no possible way I could ever have enough time with TJ." Even before they went on their first date, the two coincidentally had the same dream of marrying each other, on the exact same night. After a proposal in Aspen, the two married on July 24, 2021. The couple said "I do" in a traditional ceremony. It was important to both Sarah and TJ to wait until the ceremony to see each other, and it was their favorite moment as Sarah walked down the aisle. Another sentimental highlight from their day was when the bride's mother sang "Ave Maria" during their ceremony. The celebration continued at The Petroleum Club, with stunning views of the city from the floor-toceiling windows. Then, after dancing to "We Are Family" and cutting into their 4-tier white wedding cake, the newlyweds made their grand exit under a shower of rose petals.

Elise, a lawyer, and Jeremy, a financial analyst, met at Elise's sister's wedding, where Jeremy, a close friend of the couple, was a groomsman. Flash forward to a sunny spring day in 2019; the couple spent it at The Houston Zoo, and Jeremy nervously popped the question near the elephant enclosure, elephants being Elise's favorite animal. The biggest challenge throughout the planning process? "Planning during law school!" the bride says. On January 4, 2020, the couple pledged their love at Corinthian Houston in a bloom-filled romantic wedding inspired by a winter wonderland. Stunning archways of orchids and white blooms, designed by Plants N' Petals, adorned the ceremony space and complemented the sparkling crystal chandeliers. Elise's bridal bouquet was very special as it included flowers that both her grandmothers, mother and sister had chosen for their own wedding bouquets and white orchids. Of note were the reading and prayer by the groom’s mother and the speeches by the bride’s parents. Guests enjoyed a cocktail hour with a Raw Bar. Dinner included a variety of flavorful cuisine, including fajitas, twice-baked parmesan goat cheese souffle, beef tenderloin and a dumpling station, to name a few. One of the newlyweds' favorite moments? The bride says, "Dancing at the reception and being surrounded by the love and support of our family and friends."

Harry and Margaret met at The University of Texas in 2008 but did not start dating until seven years later when Margaret was attending dental school in Utah. After a four year long-distance romance, Harry proposed to Margaret on a trip to Napa Valley, CA, where they enjoyed a weekend of wine tasting. “It was the perfect location; breathtaking, romantic and intimate,” says Margaret. The tour guide, who was in on the surprise, encouraged the couple to walk the grounds where a table was set up with beautiful flowers and champagne, and Harry popped the question. On September 4, 2021, the couple pledged their love at industrial chic venue, The Astorian. Margaret walked down the aisle in a strapless Galia Lahav gown with an Ines De Santo veil and crystal-embellished Louboutin heels. After the wedding ceremony, the couple paid homage to their culture and wore traditional red garments for an intimate tea ceremony for their families, a ritual to respect and honor the ancestors and elders in their families. Red symbolizing good luck, happiness and prosperity. The couple had prepared for the wedding with dance lessons. “Our dance had many lifts, with the last lift being a very challenging one, and the one we were very nervous about doing! However, as we danced, our crowd of family and friends were so supportive, cheering us on throughout the whole dance. Just looking around the room and seeing everyone smiling, excited, and so immersed in our dance was so special. This gave us all the confidence and made the night extra memorable,” says Margaret.

The sky's the limit when it comes to Daniela and Fernando. The two met shortly after jumping out of a plane at a skydiving drop zone, eventually leading them to start jumping together on the weekends. After dating a few years, Fernando took Daniela to San Luis Pass for a picnic at the beach. He took her to the shore to watch the sunset and got down on one knee. "I still remember his heart pounding so hard out of his chest right before. Everything else after that was a blur; I think I blacked out from the shock, but saying yes was easier than jumping out of an airplane!" says Daniela. On November 6, 2021, the couple pledged their love at Agave Estates, an oasis of lush palm trees and colorful gardens. For their alfresco ceremony, white flowers and greenery complemented the warm hues of the natural stone paths and terra cotta walls in the sun-dappled courtyard. Then, guests headed inside for the reception, sitting under a canopy of string lights and lush trees in various parts of the spacious room. A highlight from their night? "Our private last dance was very special; we were able to kind of stop at the end of the night and just enjoy a couple of minutes just the two of us," says Daniela.

Devin first noticed Rachel at the age of 13 and the memory is still vivid. Rachel was wearing a white dress with a veil, and at that moment, he knew he would marry her one day. Fast forward several years. The two reconnected and got engaged in less than a year. Like for many, Covid-19 created havoc with their original wedding plans for a beach wedding in Tulum, Mexico, especially since Rachel is an epidemiologist, working in the pandemic's epicenter. At her parents' insistence, the couple moved forward and planned an intimate tent wedding in Galveston at a private bay house. On October 9, 2020, their wedding day, a hurricane formed in the gulf, bringing strong winds. Just when they thought they would have to cancel, the winds calmed, and the skies cleared, with a magnificent sunset that made the bay sparkle. The sky complemented their chic boho décor of orange, red and blush flowers mixed with pampas grass. Sadly, Rachel's mother’s dementia put her at risk, preventing her parents from attending. Guests danced and indulged in blackened salmon topped with grilled shrimp, lemon butter sauce with jalapeno rice, green beans and a delicious cake. Despite all of the obstacles Rachel and Devin faced, their day still managed to be "perfect."

REAL WEDDINGS

|

Rika and Kartik’s love story began in West Palm Beach, Florida, where they both did their medical training and soon started dating. Having grown up in Brooklyn, Rika had always loved New York City, so it was only fitting for Kartik to propose in Times Square. The evening before the wedding, a fun and festive Sangeet was held at the versatile Ballroom at Bayou Place. On August 25, 2021, the couple had an extravagant Hindu wedding full of vibrant colors, traditional Indian rituals and an abundance of music, dancing and delicious cultural food at The Corinthian. The groom arrived in a Rolls Royce convertible for his Baraat, while guests danced and paraded the streets around him. The ceremony was spectacular, decorated with an abundance of white and blush florals and greenery. Every wedding detail was extravagant, from the intricate beading on the bride’s attire to the fog that filled the room. The bride notes: “I wanted the wedding to be a full sensory experience. I wanted the guests to walk in and smell all of the flowers and hear the string quartet before seeing the beautiful decor...this was a dream come true for me.” A fun reception with dining and dancing followed. The couple's favorite moment was their quiet and intimate first look. Rika says, "it was truly magical.”

REAL WEDDINGS

A chance meeting with Stephen at a bar at the end of a long week sparked a conversation lasting well into the night and led Courtnie to declare that she had met the love of her life to her mom and best friend. Five years after supporting each other through the tragic loss of both their mothers, the couple took a trip to the island of Sardinia. On their last day, they took a boat out on the ocean to explore the secluded emerald beaches. Stephen anchored on a deserted beach and set up the Go Pro for a quick video during lunch. As the GoPro looked on, they enjoyed their savory lunch. Then, Stephen poured a glass of bubbles for Courtnie and proposed. On May 1, 2021, the couple had an extravagant wedding in Houston with an abundance of lush florals designed by Dream Bouquet. The alfresco reception was magical, with a canopy of lights covering the clear tent. It was special that Courtnie's dad, a stage 4 cancer survivor, could be a part of their day and he provided the meats and homemade sausage from his meat market for the reception. Stephen and Courtnie celebrated the day with true passion, love, support from friends and family, and friends who have become family. Their day was focused on the celebration of their love; love for each other, love for family and friends, love for food, music and LIFE!

REAL WEDDINGS

While Catherine and Paten initially met at 14 and even dated for a few years in high school, it wasn’t until a crawfish boil seven years later that the pair rekindled their romance. “That is when I knew I did not only find someone I could talk to for hours at a time but a genuine best friend,” says Catherine. A proposal soon followed in Gruene, TX. On March 20, 2021, the couple tied the knot in a stunning white and rose gold wedding at Madera Estates. The SpanishEuropean-inspired wedding venue offered the perfect backdrop for Catherine and Paten to celebrate with their 250 guests. White and blush blooms, greenery and twinkling lights beautifully decorated the outdoor ceremony. Once the couple exchanged their vows, the party began in the venue’s ballroom. Crystal chandeliers and candlelight cast a beautiful glow against the white and rose-gold wedding décor. Guests dined on filet mignon, macaroni, and a raw bar with oysters, snow crab and shrimp cocktail shooters. Dessert was a 4-tier white cake with raspberry filling and buttercream icing. The Groom’s crawfish boil-inspired pistachio cake with buttercream frosting paid homage to how the couple reconnected at the crawfish boil. After dancing the night away with family and friends, Catherine and Paten departed in a vintage trolley car, under a canopy of stars and sparklers.

REAL WEDDINGS

Lauren and Josh met the way many modern day couples do (and are shy to admit) :Tinder. She was traveling up to Tennessee to tour a college, and they matched. She was hesitant to re-enter the dating scene, but his classic pickup line “Do you like fishing? Because you’re Lauren me in” warmed her heart - and as they say, the rest was history. After exactly two years, down to the minute, from that very first message, Joshua proposed on the Walnut Street Bridge in Chattanooga, TN. The couple journeyed through the struggle of a Covid wedding (and a million rescheduled plans), but tied the knot May 28, 2021 in Sarasota, Florida – where Lauren’s parents met and fell in love over thirty years ago. Their wedding was held at the historic Powel Crosley winter estate, right on the water, and was designed to be a timeless and elegant celebration of their love surrounded by their closest family and friends. They let the estate speak largely for itself in terms of decorations, but accompanied it with plenty of fresh florals and beautiful lights. Guests were served a seated three course meal of spinach, strawberry and goat cheese salad, prosciutto wrapped asparagus and a choice of filet mignon or stuffed chicken breast. As the night came to a close, the couple escaped on a small yacht for a private night-time boat ride for two.
